underglaze painting

Underglaze painting is a technique used in pottery and ceramics where colors are applied to a clay surface before it is covered with a clear glaze and fired in a kiln. This method allows for detailed designs and vibrant colors that are preserved beneath the glaze, enhancing durability and giving a glossy finish. The underglaze can be painted, sprayed, or stamped onto the clay, and it remains visible after the final firing. This technique is popular for creating intricate patterns and artworks on ceramic pieces, combining artistic expression with practical functionality.
